I Investigated the Murder Capital of the World… 

Thanks having me on board in this wonderful investigation!! honestly its a long time since i got this scared!! Tyler you are out of this world! be safe on your journey! blessing on to yoo always!!

Jamaican women take zero crap. I went to the ER in the middle of the night with a broken ankle. The guy 2 beds down from me had been shot in the knee. In comes this beautiful 50 year old Jamaican nurse with the voice of an angel. I told her kindly that she could tend to him first since he had a GSW and I just had a broken ankle. She told me straight faced, " No, my dear. That man wants to play with guns, he can suffer. He's not in any danger. Look at you, my love. Broken ankle and being so lovely. You must be in so much pain. I am taking care of you first." I asked "are you sure?" She shook her head and replied, "you are a kind hearted girl. He is stupid. Your pain matters more." I laughed, she smiled and I have never forgotten her. Kind, sympathetic woman but took no BS

Thank God I’m not a sexy blond-haired, blue-eyed white girl 🙏🏻🕊️ shoutout @JamaicaWalkBy for keeping us alive

We went to Jamaica for our honeymoon in 2015….we had a cab driver say he could get us anything we wanted…cocaine, heroine and etc. We had to stop by an ATM in a village and he was very good at telling us to be aware without alarming us. Told us to get in and out. Visited Rick’s Cafe and had a blast.

One thing to keep in mind, when the locals say it’s “safe” they may mean “ safer than before “ or “ it’s okay” the same scenario would leave someone from Switzerland saying it is a literal warzone. Maybe that’s why it can get confusing when watching these series, they are not trying to fool you/themselves, some genuinely think it’s safe because they don’t have another point of reference

Give the woman who’s child ended up paralyzed from a stray bullet a hug

bro this guy's on another level , he literally interviewing people who came to mug him like wtf????

Besides the near mugging, all I saw in this video were super fucking nice people who are actually interested in you as human and willing to engage with you. That’s a vast gulf of difference from Americans who are either hesitant, annoyed, or arrogant.

"You think I’ll die today?" "Nah, today is a good day” 😭😭

“My name is Mr. AK-47” “My name is… Thomas” 😂😂😂😂

Tyler you NEED to create a gofundme for the weed hospitality farm, these seem like blessed people that deserve backing

Love Tyler’s shows: he interacts with people well, he’s charismatic & brings the truth out. By far my favorite.

You met so many kind & even hospitable people in the murder capitol of the world, who all seem to genuinely value community & love. I only wish nothing but the best for them & their safety, every one of them just seem like a great time & amazing company

I live in Jamaica and I would never go to Tivoli or Trench town. Thank you for your bravery and allowing me to see what's going on.

Not Tyler making lifelong besties with the gang member 😭

Tyler: “What would you do if I was a sexy blonde haired girl?” The Mugger: “Kidnap You.” 💀💀💀

This man went from getting robbed to having a speed race with an actual gangster. Consider my flabbergasted.

Tyler getting a gang member to show off his speed is exactly what I needed this morning.

Well done to the tour guide for keeping him safe and Coco for trying to improve and brighten his community. The majority of locals seem lovely

being from el salvador my heart goes out to these people in jamaica. even though jamaican and salvadoran culture are completely different, the people still show great love and appreciation for life. we have the same experience of hoping and praying family and friends stay alive. innocent people do not deserve to live like this. hopefully just like us, our Jamaican brothers and sisters can thrive and become safe 🩷

*Gets mugged Tyler: "Can I interview you?" Robbers: "Yeah but bring me money!"

Tyler can just vibe with anyone, without even trying. What a legend 😂

I live in Jamaica in the parish of Trelawny. Thank you for coming to investigate the rapid growing crime in my country. It is truly a disaster how much murder, robbery, and reckless driving happens down here. Glad you could make friends with the locals 🎉 🇯🇲 Edit 1: Thank you all for your questions, I love how people are curious to know more of this country. I am willing to answer more. I am a child so my opinions may differ from other. Thank you all ❤ Edit 2: Sorry for the long comment, just want to say that two of my parent's work friends have died. Stay safe and sensible, anywhere and everywhere you guys are

Bro your skills with people are unmatched. This was BRILLIANT 🙏

Leave the issue on the tissue was so iconic I can’t even lie

The people who said the area was "confidential" all locked their eyes on him like "I can't believe he is actually here. An outsider who ain't dead yet!"

I love how happy and entertained they are hanging out with you, its like a special day with a new friend from another world

Watching this talented man live his life to the fullest at such a young age.

This is an incredibly eye-opening and somber insight into Jamaica's struggle with social and criminal issues. The interviewees provided a raw and authentic perspective. Nevertheless, the spirit and resilience of the locals amid such adversities are truly inspiring. It's our fervent hope that Jamaica will overcome these challenges and witness a brighter future soon.

that man with you is literally such a good dude , he stays back with you to get robbed …. I hope you hooked him up

Growing up in Spanish Town, Jamaica it's not surprising to know that Jamaica is one of the number one countries with the highest murder rate. It's been like that since I was a child. The amount of crimes and shootings that you see in Spanish Town makes it seemed like you're in a movie. Honestly I blame the corrupt politicians that doesn't really care about the Jamaican people and just tourism. Instead of spending money on the country like education and jobs they rather spend it on tourism.

I met a Jamaican girl who came on a visa to work she was from Kingston . Such an amazing young lady loved her like a daughter.

For context, he went to parts of Jamaica that not even Jamaicans would go. The places he went to by far does not represent the entire island.

Respect to tyler for not cutting out people who sing/rap on his videos

Tyler got politely mugged 😂

“Yeah it’s very safe and peaceful” “IF I DIDNT HAVE A NATIVE WITH ME I WOULD HAVE DIED

I travelled to Jamaica in 2017, east side during christmas. Never saw anything bad, no dangerous people, no murder/kidnap/robbing attempts just because of my skintone. I fell in love with the mindset of the people. For sure want to go back one day. I do think capitol's and bigger cities are worse than rural areas btw, I just didn't go there.

Tyler is TOP TIER with his journalism!!! A true pioneer, risking life and limb, to uncover the truth! So much growth from your channel, God bless homie!❤

A couple years ago this used to be El Salvador. Im so proud of how far my country has come but man I feel for Jamaica

I'm Jamaican though have never been there, my grandma and aunts have been there multiple times and have told me how beautiful it is but I never knew about this part of Jamaica. My uncle died last year due to a drive-by in Jamaica, that was my first time hearing the start of this violence. Thanks a lot for the video, had I not seen this i'd probably still be in the dark about this.

It’s sad to hear my country has ended up like this. Trench Town was always the “Don’t even think about stepping into there” type of place but the fact that is leaking out is crazy.

Born and raised in Mobay, I moved to the US ~10 years ago and people are usually surprised that I’ll walk in the night in almost any community with no fear. It hurts my heart when I have to explain that the homicide rate quadruples Chicago and there is just a general exception that if you don’t trouble Trouble, Trouble won’t trouble you.

As a Jamaican, born , raised and still living on the island, it's great for more people to look at our country from the eyes on both the locals and foreigners. Just the rest of the Jamaicans in the comment section we who live here have different takes on the country. I'm not the best at giving the whole walkthrough, so just a few key points based off the video. Feel free to ask anything if not pointed out here, I'll try and answer as best as I can. - Connections are everything. - The government is 'trying to fix everything' but in reality, they ARE apart of the problem. - Racism isn't a thing, but classicism is. But, they ain't joking when they said you got off good due to ya'll being white, that shit's real. - There is a gang/drug/prostitution house in every community. Yes, even in the rich areas. I live in the middle class area...kinda, and the house right next door was a whorehouse and a drug house, twice with different occupants! They've even raided the place, using my backyard as an enter point. Funny tho, ain't gonna lie. - Gay people, myself being one, have a hard time. Gay men get made fun of and shot, or stabbed down. Gay women have a hard time living due to men trying to get with them. Most people who ain't gay in this country think WE are the ones killing each other. NOPE, it's them killing US. I've always been upfront with people when they ask me if I'm dating anyone, i just say " Yup, my wife and i have been together for 11 years now" and most laugh and think i'm joking. Then try to be nice saying "watch out or those violent gays will stab you" ....oh please... Oh btw, "Fish" as the guy said about the transwomen , it's the equivalent of "Fag" to ya'll Americans. It was funny when ya called him a shark tho lool. - People living in violent communities, truly wish the best for them. They try to fix it up like how Coco is doing for Tivoli. Having friends that live there and going into those parts myself, is a different experience. It's always up to the poeple of the community to fix everything. Some people depend on the government too much, even IF that is their job....they'll almost never care. - If you are apart of a political party, people will take that shit personal. Word of advice: Never wear Green, Orange or even Red during election time. You will be at odds. Now, i'm a apart of the few (or more) people on this island, that actually know the statistics on the crime rate. Funny, as Jamaica is also known for having the most churches per square mile. Literally, there are three near me, walking distance! And with every church, there are even more bars. Trust me. We have always been a crime filled country. Dating back to when Port Royal was at it's full state. The most sinful place on earth. But, i've asked that question.... "Would you rather live in America or Jamaica?" Honestly? Jamaica. We may not be 'safe' to people looking in, but it's safe for us. We've been through it all. But, the country in of itself, is a wonderful place. It's just US as the people, that needs to change. Jamaica, she is a beauty, but we are beating her down at her core. We NEED to stop, she NEEDS to rest.

My friends and I went on a cruise and I was so excited that one of the stops was Jamaica. The night before we pulled into port, we received a memo from Carnival advising us not to leave the ship. It said that Jamaica has the highest incidents of tourist r*pe. I'm glad we listened. I always do research into any place I visit now.

"Yeah I'm nervous," Tyler: BOMBOCLAT

Prayers for her 10yo child. May he walk again! In Jesus name, i pray!

Tyler is such a w making these people happy asf, also obviously shedding light on issues that need to be solved sooner or later

The fact that 90% of Jamaicans are musicians delights my soul 🇯🇲

Props to JamaciaWalkby for being a cool af dude and keeping you safe to make this Tyler, great work

My neighbor is from Jamaica and although he loves it, he has only gone back a couple times since he was a teen because of all this. Best neighbor, hardest worker, and most devoted father and husband I've ever seen. A bunch of his friends are from Jamaica too and they treat Everyone like family. Best cookouts by far. I feel blessed to know them and i hope his sons can visit their fathers home and see their heritage someday.

All of these people, living in such unsafe, and insufficient conditions are so welcoming and warm. I have found that many, many people around the world are like this. It’s a very interesting ( and sad) contrast to how often the reverse is true in people, with many resources.

Despite all the poverty and violence, you can really see the Jamaican Spirit show through in this video, a beautiful people, respect ✌️ hope to make it there one day.

I'm a Jamaican who gets carjack in chicago at gun 🔫 nothing safe In America.

Tyler is doing the most insane side quests, it’s like the joke about the cameraman being invincible

Unlike the towns from your other videos, I can tell that this is a truly nice town and community with a gun violence problem, rather than a crappy town with violence mixed in.

the locals: "everything is safe! I love this place. My life is happy and peaceful 💕" him: "erm.. but the statistics ☝🤓"

Tyler's social skills are out of this world wtf

The old lady telling you that your wrong for highlighting Jamaica’s problems was fierce. Love her.

That old lady @10:00 should be Jamaican Prime minister, she defending her country with all force and data, brilliant😅

loool as someone from the caribbean diaspora, the vibe here is unmatched!!!😂😂You're awesome, dude❤ S/O to JA Sameway

“YOU EVER SEEN TEEN TITANS GO” bro has me dying AJJDHDJFHBDHDJDHHD

I have been going to Jamaica over the last 20 years for scuba diving and love for the culture. Not only have the reefs been declining to the point where some sites are no longer diveable, but the crime and police have become too corrupt for me to come back. I rented cars, knew family in the hills, spent time in the cities and mountains. I've been attacked, robbed, and even extorted by the police. My Rasta family member was extorted worse than me. No one is your friend. You are seen as a ticket out of there by most people. Many have a desperate, fleeting look in there eyes. It is a completely different place than when i started my adventures. By far the most disturbing aspect is their deeply rooted homophobia. Being gay on Jamaica is a life of torture at best, with a mob style death sentence being very likely at worst. The police will show up to high five the community after. Thank you for bringing awareness to this evil - it is very rarely acknowledged by outsiders. Bless up Jamaica - I hope time can heal these wounds.

Tyler, you should really cover the Baltimore bridge collapse

It's not the murder capital of the world 😤

Jamaica was one of my favourite places. I've been there too many times to mention, including Kingston a few times. As a white dude from London I stood out. I worked in travel management and had to attend meetings with various tour operators there. My last visit saw me attend a meeting in Kingston where things had gotten so bad, the meeting had guards (retired and active police officers) there with assault rifles. The meeting was at night, and you could clearly hear the occasional gunshot.

That accent just positively brings a feeling of joy. I loved Ska music in the 80's & U B 40's ' Kingston Town ' is one of my top 10. My bruv saved up to go see Bob Marleys grave & although he had to put his hand in his pocket many times he also said he was protected because looking back they probably thought what a silly white boy coming here on your own. He was only 19, but Bob Marley was his idol & the locals were very kind to him. Thank you to the good people of Jamaica❤

I lived in Kingston for 8 months back in 2010 and I never felt safe, always felt like I was being watched, eyed up and about to be kidnapped. I remember at one point there was an article in the local paper with a headline reading "murder free day". Basically that tells you that on that particular day there were no murders, and it was such a rare occurrence that it was newsworthy. We also heard gunshots at one point, it was overall a scary experience and I have no desire to return. However I will say that most of the ordinary locals I met were such friendly people who wanted the violence to end and for their home country to be one of peace and prosperity and I really hope that it can be one day.

Bro we cant appreciatw you ENOUGH❤❤You're really putting your pife on danger. Thats some solid a*s journalism. Thanks for your service.

I appreciate your ability to be funny but also serious and argumentative

I consider it a minor miracle that Tyler made it to Jamaica after the Bohemian Grove video 💀

I love this Tyler..married to a Yaadi and I’m considered a Jamerican..we love Jamaica forever in our hearts..hopefully soon we can get dual citizenship for our children..strong people..

10:15 "Man affi dead fi mek man live bredda" Translsted: People gotta die so people can live bro Its a really crazy statement to make when talking about crime and and violence

I’ve been to 🇯🇲 three times and these are wonderful people. It breaks my heart to hear about all the crimes

As a Jamaican myself I grew up in warrika hill in kingston we called it Mountain View and I can say truly what you been saying is true the amount of dead bodies and shootings I’ve come across in my 17 years there is insane that’s why I’m grateful that I got the chance to leave bless mih country yzt

Good job Tyler. You're a terrific reporter. Jamaica can't be explained unless you live, experience the culture, the people, the history. And Jamaica is not the upscale Mo-bay or the Negril resorts. I lived in Kingston for a while a few years ago and I lived with a Jamaican family for 8 years, when I lived in Brooklyn. I have so much love and respect for JA that I wish they will have a brighter and peaceful tomorrow. It might be rough, sure, but it's one of the most magical places on earth. Big up yourself. Forward.

It's so heartbreaking see boys around the same age as me suffering in that horrific environment. I would like to invite one friend in Korea and hang out.

Lived in Jamaica most of my life before moving to the US. Never yet got robbed or harmed in any form of way and i have lived near gun men. As long as you dont associate your self with the wrong people you'll be good and also knowing where the bad zones are. And during those years, only very few people have died near where i live with a tad few getting shot

The lady talking about drugs in America is spot on

Thank kind white boy for visiting my home glad to see u enjoyed it and thank god yuh did not get into anything worst 🙏🏾🇯🇲🇺🇸❤️

I can’t believe Tyler got robbed on camera for us😂 This dude takes journalism to the next level.

Thank you for showing RU-vid the beautiful and wonderful hearts the Jamaicans have

This is a better source for learning about the world than any news channel out

My sister went to Jamaica the same day this video came out, thanks Tyler!🤌 My anxiety.

Dude! You are an incredible interviewer! Perhaps the best investigative journalist I’ve ever seen.

I worked with a Jamaican a few years ago and he was one of the coolest and nicest people i have ever met and every pay day he would send money to his family back in Jamaica

My fiancé and I just got back from traveling around Jamaica and loved every minute of it! We had personal drivers who told us certain areas to avoid and we didn’t go to Kingston, but other than that it’s a beautiful country. Highly recommend visiting the Blue Mountains there!

Bro, give him a raise, he’s going out here risking his life to make us videos wow 350 likes im going on a cruise to the carribean think I should choose one that goes to Jamaica?

"Let's go get robbed." This guy is a legend.

Mr Ak-47: ‘’We’d just rob you and let you go’’ Tyler: ‘’i apreciate that’ nah this man’s nerves😂

The guy being interviewed at 21:54, his accent suggests that he lived abroad, (possibly the UK), in the past, but the fact that he has to resort to crime is an indication that he may in fact be a deportee.

Tyler makes friends with anybody😭😭

23:04 Tyler legit just gave him an idea for a new crime 😂🤦🏽

As a Jamacian, its sad to hear this, thank you tyler for documenting this.

God bless you tyler. He definitely kept you safe on your travels

I love the small damcey dance outside the hair salon ❤☺️ everyone is so musically incluned

EDIT: (y’all i get it i full on unsubscribed from this dude and have told anyone i know to stop watching his videos)as a person from australia which has a lot less crime and a lot less access to western news i often use tyler’s vids to find out what’s happening on the other side of the globe and honestly it’s chilling

I ❤ the old woman with the blond hair. She says don’t talk to me about Jamaica until you acknowledge what is happening in the United States. Destruction comes in many forms. Preach!!!

Tyler just randomly yelling bombaclaat throughout the video😂😂

Im from Trinidad which is number 3, honestly you would be so surprised how polished and clean the country tries keeping things for the tourists. Keeping up a fake image of what we are.

25:00 He said what now ? lol I didn’t expect that
